This is an interesting question that you ask!

While Abagworo has posted information that can be debated, I honestly think that the majority of informed Igbo people would be most inclined towards using ‘Igbo’ to describe the name of the people, the language spoken and the land inhabited . . . irrespective of what some of the 'erroneous' information out there say!

So in answer to your question the politically correct terms would be:
Igbo person
Igbo language
Igbo land

'This statue is not of Yoruba origin, it is of 'Igbo' origin’ . . .

The use of ‘Ibo’ to describe ‘Igbo’ people or language is increasingly considered irreverent. Some educated Nigerians . . . Igbo speaking or not . . .  even find the term very insulting since they are aware that its one of those patronising relics, spilling over from the centuries when the colonialists had gone about telling their subjects how they should call themselves!

But as we gradually shed ourselves of the 'odious' mentality of those years, most of us have come to agree that we are Igbo are not 'Ibo' -it doesn’t matter whether the Igbo person is from the Igbo-speaking areas of Rivers or Delta states, or the Igbo speaking states of Abia, Anambara, Ebonyi, Enugu or Imo . . . it is still Igbo!  And that is how we wish to be called . . .

The few people that persist in using 'Ibo' are either being deliberately mischievous – as you may have observed, perusing the politics section of NL - or are just innocently, or in a few cases. . . i dare say, even. . .  irredeemably, ignorant!

I have been trying very hard to refrain from making any comment on Gen. Buhari's conduct since entering office but it seems the man and controversial decisions are siamese twins.

Everywhere in the world, the President's security is handled by the secret service, not by gun-trotting soldiers cos it is more civil, diplomatic and in line with international standards. It is only in third world banana republics that dictators who rose to power through the barrel of a gun, in a haze of fire and blood, parade soldiers to intimidate the citizenry and would-be coupists.

This man better appoint advisers ASAP before he commits more blunders. He is trapped in 1983.

I pray that the dullard can use this to fight his misguided brothers

What he is saying is that the priority should be high on boko terrorists. The creek boys are criminals no doubt but not terrorists. We have terrorists in the North East that the government and the Army are to give more priority.

THANK YOU!! Abeg teach some of these people here.

Bluffly:

He should thread with care. In the USA, FBI does that and not the military, likewise other well meaning developed countries. Is he afraid. If he can't make all arms of the Nigerian security outfit trustable, then he has no business being the president. If he is not feeling safe with the curent state of DSS, he should overhaul it rather than spitting on their face.

Studying for a Master degree in the department of Geology, FUTA take you several years though.

butanep:
Geology/ Geophysic is a hot cake now in Nigeria especially in the petroleum sector. The most important thing about the course(s) is its diversification. With the increasing demand of oil and the exploration of new oil wells, search of underground water in complex terrain, building of dams and bridges, just to mention a few, geology/ geophysics will still remain relevant even till the next century.

Graduate with a good result in the field will always smile to the bank when employed in any of the oil sector or construction firm or hydrological ministries/firms.

They are only few universities in Nigeria that can boast of good geology department with sound theoretical, practical and field knowledge.

Here are list of universities that give the best in geology and can also boast of sound and competent geologist both home and abroad.


1 Obafemi Awolowo University ( OAU)




2 University OF Ibadan




3 University OF Jos (UNIJOS)




4 University OF Benin ( UNIBEN)



5 University Of Nigeria Nsuka



6 University Of Maidiguri ( UNIMAD)



7 Federal University Of Technology Akure (FUTA)



8 Federal University Of Technology Owerri (FUTO)



9 Federal University Of Technology Mina.




10 University Of Portharcort ( UNIPORT)


11 University Of Ilorin ( UNIlORIN)




12 Delta State University Abraka



13 University Of Calabar. (UNICAL)



14 Federal University Of petroleum Resources (FUPRE )


15 Ajayi Crowther university Oyo.


So if you intend to study geology or geophysic, you need to consider any of the listed university. They are the best in the field of Geoscience.

my Brother, believe me, in situations like that you won't be going home with your wife alone....definitely, her younger sister or brother's school fees will be the pride price you pay. You might train your wive's sister or you renovate her fathers hauz. One is certain.

i dnt call more or less than twice be it a boy, girl, man or woman unless i deliberately want to disturb the person.

i do feel that if i call someone jst once, he/she might see it as flashing. but once u fail to pick up after the second call, i will assume u are either not with ur phone or u just didnt want to pick up.
